UNSPSC 85692847: Division of thoracic vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of thoracic vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0P844ZZ

UNSPSC 85692847 Division of thoracic vertebra, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it—independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not align with thoracic vertebra surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code has been applied to opportunities in medical administration and occupational health rather than orthopedic surgery. State and local buyers do not appear to be soliciting thoracic vertebra surgery services under this taxonomy.

The opportunities that do carry this code reflect procurement by city retirement offices, municipal health plans, state transportation departments, county juvenile justice systems, county health care consortiums, and regional health systems—a diverse issuing-body mix spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, two-year term with extension options), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefits carve-out management (due October 7, 2026, targeted contract execution April 1, 2027), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award pool). None of these solicitations involves thoracic vertebra surgery, confirming that this code's recent state and local activity does not match its nominal procedural scope.
